Anybody putting on a Halloween film show this year? I mailed out my invitations today for our film party on October 24, only 3 weeks away!
Here is my program for this year:

Movie trivia game
Pathe Pictorial - super 8
Night on Bald Mountain - from Fantasia Super 8
Dead of Night - Super 8
The Pit And The Pendulum - digital

The HT room will be decorated in the usual Halloween trimmings - skulls, bats, spiders etc and we will have a smoke machine at the entrance to the house. A lot of fun all round!

If only I could be there! May I suggest you to add to your program SPOOKY HOOKY ('Our Gang')? Just to have some extra fun, Paul!

Nice programme there, Paul.

I do love THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM - my favourite of the Poe/Price/Corman numbers.

Paul, sounds like a fun time for all! The smoke machine is priceless(no pun intended).

I have a tentative show scheduled for Oct. 17th for Black Sunday on super 8 along with a cartoon and previews. The toon and previews will a be Halloween theme. Right now I only have two plastic pumpkins to hang on each side of the screen.

Two shows for Halloween. A pre Halloween show ( thursday the 29th) at the local Library. A mint IB tech print of Horror of Dracula plus some other short items. Then on Halloween night, at our church, an outdoor show of Super 8 Halloween related cartoons and shorts on the big 12 foot inflatable screen. Continuous shows during this "trunk or treat " night..when people set up their cars inthe parking lot with decorations and give out treats to kids and parents...plus hot dogs , popcorn...all sorts of activities. Movies are just part of it.

I, too have annual Halloween parties/film festivals. I go all out and decorate the front three rooms of my home as a haunted house complete with a coffin I have had for years -- don't ask! and then show films in the den. I advertise 6:00-8:30 classic Universal monsters, including all of the Universal 8 400' digests (with added scenes from their 200' counterparts), and then from 8:30 more contemporary films. I pull out all of the horror films in my collection, and let the audience choose. Favorites have been "Dressed to Kill" (3X400), "The Exorcist" (3X400), "Phantasm," "Carrie" (2X400 - edited in sequence from the two United Artists digests), "The Omen," "Jaws" (2X400), "Dracula" (2X400 w/Frank Langella") etc. It makes for a fun night, and has been an annual event for three years now.
